Still going

Saturday was our group training day. Let me tell you I don't even think I pushed that hard during childbirth. It felt like we were on The Biggest Loser! During the gruelling workout I thought, what did I get my self into. Then I realized, that's what I signed up for. Did I think it was going to be a cake walk? If it was easy I wouldn't be here. I would already be in shape and fit. We all would. But, I've learned that it does take hard work and dedication. I am shocked that I made it through without passing out. That hour felt like 2 or 3. It was as if time stood still. I guess that saying is true...Time flies while you are having fun. There was no fun involved. I didn't appreciate our session at the time. But, I sure did afterwards. Even the next day, and the day after that! I was a little disappointed when we weighed in. But, it just makes me want to work that much harder this week.

Monday was another set of exercises to add to my weekly routine. I do have to say they felt pretty good. I have been sore since Saturday's workout. I'm not complaining though. It's definitely a good sore. So far I'm doing good with my motivation to get to the gym. I want to see a bigger number next time we weigh. I know I still need to do more though.


The food part is almost as hard as the workouts. Who knew it would be hard to eat 1500 calories in a day? I didn't have a problem with it before. I was eating less food before, but it was very high in calories. Now, I am having a hard time filling my calories for a given meal. Healthy food doesn't have much calories. Then you have to worry about the balance of your calories, fat, protein, and carbs. It is getting a little easier. Only I need to eat 1800 calories now. I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I will find a way. The 26th is getting here quick. I am going to give it everything I got!
